Abstract

In the era of the Islamic Revolution and later the traditional networks and connections available in Iran that were generally religious, such as: mosques, tekyehs (place of Shia mourning for Imam Hussein), religious boards and seminaries, along with also religious values and norms in society a particular form of social capital was created. The main objective of the study is to analyze the formation and increase of social capital in the Islamic Republic of Iran. To achieve this objective, descriptive and documentary data collection methods are used. The collected materials are then categorized and used using the tab technique to obtain considered results. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the existing traditional networks in Iran that continued to the farthest reaches of Iran, religious norms are mentioned as effective factors in the creation and increase of social capital and a factor of confidence-building between social and religious leaders.
